Event information:

Marie Skłodowska Curie actions is the largest European program which supports the education and mobility of researchers in Europe. The European Commission allocated 6.16 billion EUR to these activities in Horizon 2020 for years 2014-2020. The program finances both international and cross-sector mobility of scientists within the European Research Area. Since its inception in 1996, over 100,000 researchers have received support from the program. It is estimated, that only 65,000 scientists will be supported within Horizon 2020. MSCA also funds the European Researchers’ Night.
The aim of the meeting is to discuss the experience of MSCA grant holders, the impact of these projects on the career of researchers as well as the functioning of research institutions. Slovakia has received several MSCA projects in the 7th Framework Program for Research and Development and in Horizon 2020. The most important of these projects is MSCA Cofund, which was acquired by the Slovak Academy of Sciences - SASPRO. Thanks to this project almost 40 scientists came to Slovakia.
